社會工作教科書愛滋議題呈現之內容分析檢視與批判

在瞭解社工者或社工系所學生對愛滋感染者的服務意願時，社工教科書因素一直沒被提及。「會不會因社工教科書未呈現愛滋議題，使社工系所學生及社工者漠視愛滋議題的急迫性？」是本研究主要問題意識。研究者採量化與質化兼用的內容分析法，檢視108本出版於1985年到2005年間的社工教科書，從「教科書提供的愛滋訊息、呈現方式、及可能潛在問題」等面向進行檢視。研究發現，只有39本教科書呈現愛滋訊息：出版年代較新的書、翻譯的書，及「基礎科目」書籍較易出現愛滋訊息；愛滋議題被呈現的形式與內容相當歧異。此外台灣社工教科書在呈現愛滋訊息時，仍有「隱匿不見、零碎孤立，或呈現刻板印象或錯誤認知」等潛在問題。文末，研究者針對相關議題進行討論並提出相關建議。

Social workers play critical roles in the area of HIV prevention and intervention in Taiwan. However, little is known regarding how the social work discipline prepares its students to work with people living with HIV/AIDS. One important method for training future social workers is college-level textbooks, because they are often the basic materials for students to learn social work value, knowledge, and skills. Therefore, presentation of adequate and accurate HIV/AIDS information in these texts is important. The present study involves a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 108 social work textbooks used in Taiwan and published between 1985 (when the first HIV case appeared in Taiwan) and 2005. The result reveals that among the 108 textbooks, 39 of them mentioned HIV/AIDS issues. The newer, translated, or professional foundation subject textbooks presented more HIV/AIDS information. However, many books that included HIV/AIDS information did not present a comprehensive overview of this issue, and did not adequately address the role social workers should play in practice. The most popular form in which social work textbooks presented HIV/AIDS issues was a simple mention, and no more than a simple mention. Furthermore, invisibility, stereotyping, unreality, and fragmentation are four identified problems regarding the presentation of HIV/AIDS issues in the 108 social work textbooks. Implications for social work education and training are discussed.
